Flames on tower roof
And torchlight on the dark waves...
"Virgil, what is it?"
"Signal Flares, a boat
speeds to us on the water."
Our ship has come in.
Enraged I'm alive
Phlegyas argues with us,
we get in the boat.
The Styx froths with rage
A damned soul calls out to me
I recognise him
Phillip Argenti
An abusive memory
"I weep without end"
"Then cry forever,
I have no pity for you"
I kick at his face.
Virgil's glad blessing
on me echoes the Ave
A strange sound in Hell
That soul is attacked
I thank God for the violence
as our boat speeds past
We reach the far shore
The City of Dis burns bright
Guarded by Devils
The Rebel Angels
Mock Virgil and damn my life
Virgil speaks with them
He leaves me alone
I'm scared, my doubts eat at me
we're locked out of Dis
Virgil consoles me
God has sent us an Angel
Alone it speeds forth.
